Picture of the author

"Kulli Rah Vich Pai Asan Tere" is a heartfelt song based on the devotional yet rebellious works of the legendary Sufi poet Bulleh Shah. Typical of Sufi poetry, the song conveys an intense longing for the Divine, using symbolic language that blurs the lines between spiritual and earthly love. Bibi Nooran's powerful voice resonates with this yearning.

I've placed my hut in your path 
          
So I'll see you as you come and go 
                    
Go away   don't stop me! Let me put a   on my forehead 
                      
With a tilak on my forehead, let me go to the house of the dancing girls 
                    
Being one doesn't diminish my honour, let me dance to please my beloved 
          
I've placed my hut in your path 
          
So I'll see you as you come and go 
                  
I've sacrificed my heart for my beloved, I hope it'll be of value 
                    
If I lose my life, so be it, as long as I'm with my beloved 
          
I've placed my hut in your path 
          
So I'll see you as you come and go 
                  
Don't be proud, man with money. Sitting, draped in white 
                  
True of false, you'll be tested before the true assayer 
                  
Speak honest and be honest, trouble will not meet you 
                  
  you must become a   and no one can hurt you 
          
I've placed my hut in your path 
          
So I'll see you as you come and go
